Damn. I can't believe tomorrow night will already mark the end of Season 2. And I'm already wondering how season 3 is going to shape up. Especially since the events of A Storm of Swords will be split into two seperate seasons. But with so many different storylines going on, they really do need some serious examination.

Season 2's last episode was terrific. Loved how Danaerys (sP?) handled herself and the last scene was epic. Love this series: boobs, brutal violence, dragons, face changers, zombies.... Plus, the variety of scenery is also pretty damn cool.

Apparently the production company rented a box full o' decapitated heads for various scenes, and amongst those heads was George W. Bush. In the commentary track for Episode 10 they point out Bush's head and let the ****storm commence! Now the episode is pulled, they're changing the DVDs and Blu-rays, and they're issuing one apology after another.

Happy to own the unedited Blu-rays right here!

And I'm pretty disappointed with the feigned outrage over this. There's no way this was a vicious, political slam of Bush. And even if it was, who cares? Buncha griping over nothing. I just pray it doesn't impact the future of the show.

The first In Production video has been posted for season 3 of Game of Thrones. There are some interesting tidbits, including a first look at Ciaran Hinds in costume as Mance Rayder!

Also, I found out a little bit more regarding the change in actors for The Mountain, Ser Gregor Clegane. The actor who played him in season 1, Conan Stevens, was booked on a couple of other jobs. He was in at least one episode of Spartacus - Vengeance earlier this year. And he was also cast as Bolg in The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey. That's probably why we saw a different actor in that role for GoT season 2.
